The Driver Shaft He Should NEVER Use… Was the BEST (Blind Test)

What happens when you test driver shafts completely blind — no labels, no flex info, no expectations? In this video, Tom hits a range of very different driver shafts without knowing what he’s using, including options most golfers would assume are completely wrong for him. From lighter profiles to very heavy, very stiff shafts, we let the performance and data do the talking. This isn’t about brand loyalty or what should work on paper — it’s about what actually performs when feel, ball flight, dispersion and launch monitor data are analysed properly. We tested a mix of popular and premium driver shafts, including: Ventus Black Project X VRTX Blue ACCRA TZ6 ACCRA GX 100 Series Throughout the test, Tom gives real feedback on feel, load, stability and confidence, before we break everything down with in-depth data analysis to see which shaft truly performed best — and why. The results challenge some very common assumptions golfers make about: Shaft flex Shaft weight “What they should be playing” And how much feel can actually be trusted If you’ve ever been told you need a certain shaft because of swing speed, handicap, or strength — this test might make you think twice. 👀 Try and guess along as you watch — then see how your assumptions compare to the data at the end. ⛳ Who this video is for Golfers confused about driver shaft flex Anyone considering a driver fitting Players who think heavier or stiffer shafts “aren’t for them” Golfers who want real performance, not marketing hype 🔍 Topics covered in this video driver shaft fitting blind driver shaft test driver shaft flex explained heavy vs light driver shaft stiff vs regular driver shaft ACCRA driver shafts Ventus Black driver shaft Project X driver shafts golf shaft fitting data feel vs performance golf 📍 About EP Golf Studios At EP Golf Studios, we specialise in data-driven club fitting, equipment testing, and helping golfers understand why certain setups work — not just what manufacturers claim.
